I've been nationally published!

Ok, that's not entirely true.

Well, yes it is.

A long time ago, in high school, I was dating a friend. Sometime in that relationship I realized that my strong desire to follow the Christian faith did not match her route for a faith journey. Because I was 17, a male, and apparently an idiot, I must have said something to the effect of "God wants me to break up with you." Now, I can't imagine I said it like that, at least I hope not, maybe it was just remembered like that. But the point was there: That the supreme being of the universe figured I shouldn't be dating said girl.

In a new book put out by Smith Magazine, Six-Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak, this little tale was told in six words, and placed in the book for national publication. So, for better or worse, I've been nationally published! I wish it could have been under better circumstances. Something like, "Suave Rican saved puppies. Taught love." Alas, that isn't the case. What joyful or woeful line have I helped contribute to literary history?

"Dumped me because God said to."
